Makes you think that no player has ever scored 4+ runs in a winner take all game, right? Well that's not true:

Now, that's a trivia question for ya...where the Crime Dog stands alone. How'd he do it? Thanks to reaching on a fielder's choice.

Cruz and Puhl went 6-for-9 with four runs and two RBI for a team that lost.

16-7 record for the teams on list #1....pretty good.

Since 1954 teams with a player reaching base 4+ times (counting teammates separately) were 47,710-17,435 during the regular season. This is a WP of .732. In 23 games 17-6 would have been .739.
